Non-NMDA (N-methyl-D-aspartate) ionotropic glutamate receptor (PubMed:7477293). L-glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the central nervous system (PubMed:7477293). The postsynaptic actions of glutamate are mediated by a variety of receptors that are named according to their selective agonists (PubMed:7477293).

nical and chemical stimuli (PubMed:7477293). Plays a role in controlling movement in response to environmental cues such as food availability and mechanosensory stimulation such as the nose touch response (PubMed:27223098). In AIB interneurons, promotes omega turns, a movement that frequently follows backwards locomotion or "reversals" in response to environmental cues while possibly playing an inhibitory role in alternative neurons to inhibit omega turns (PubMed:27223098).

L-glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the central nervous system. The postsynaptic actions of glutamate are mediated by a variety of receptors that are named according to their selective agonists. Required for response to mechanical and osmotic stimuli.

Also known as Glutamate receptor 2.4 (Ligand-gated ion channel 2.4).Glutamate-gated receptor that probably acts as non-selective cation channel. May be involved in light-signal transduction and calcium homeostasis via the regulation of calcium influx into cells.

Also known as Glutamate receptor 2.5 (Ligand-gated ion channel 2.5).Glutamate-gated receptor that probably acts as non-selective cation channel. May be involved in light-signal transduction and calcium homeostasis via the regulation of calcium influx into cells.

Also known as Glutamate receptor 3 (GluR-3) (AMPA-selective glutamate receptor 3) (GluR-C) (GluR-K3) (Glutamate receptor ionotropic, AMPA 3) (GluA3).GluR3: an integral membrane protein belonging to the glutamate-gated ion channel family. L-glutamate (Glu) acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the central nervous system. Glutamate receptors are heteromeric protein complexes with multiple subunits, each possessing transmembrane regions, and all arranged to form a ligand-gated ion channel. The postsynaptic actions of Glu are mediated by a variety of receptors that are nam

ed according to their selective agonists. Interacts with protein kinase C-alpha binding protein. Each of the four GluR proteins (GRIA1-4) include flip and flop isoforms generated by alternative RNA splicing.

Also known as Glutamate receptor 4 (GluR-4) (GluR4) (AMPA-selective glutamate receptor 4) (GluR-D) (Glutamate receptor ionotropic, AMPA 4) (GluA4).Receptor for glutamate that functions as ligand-gated ion channel in the central nervous system and plays an important role in excitatory synaptic transmission.

us system. Binding of the excitatory neurotransmitter L-glutamate induces a conformation change, leading to the opening of the cation channel, and thereby converts the chemical signal to an electrical impulse. The receptor then desensitizes rapidly and enters a transient inactive state, characterized by the presence of bound agonist. In the presence of CACNG4 or CACNG7 or CACNG8, shows resensitization which is characterized by a delayed accumulation of current flux upon continued application of glutamate ().

Also known as Glutamate receptor U1 (Kainate-binding protein) (Unitary non-NMDA glutamate receptor subunit 1) (XENU1).Receptor for glutamate. L-glutamate acts as an excitatory neurotransmitter at many synapses in the central nervous system. The postsynaptic actions of Glu are mediated by a variety of receptors that are named according to their selective agonists (). This receptor binds domoate
